EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the historical moment of Titus Manlius, an exemplar of Roman obedience, condemning his own son to death for engaging in an unauthorized duel. The date is circa 360 BCE, during a time when strict adherence to societal norms and laws was paramount in ancient Rome.
Titus Torquatus Manlius stands as a symbol of unwavering loyalty to the principles of justice and order, even at the cost of personal sacrifice. His decision to uphold the rule of law above familial ties showcases the deep-rooted sense of duty that defined Roman society during this era.
The image evokes a sense of solemnity and gravity as Titus Manlius fulfills his role as both father and magistrate, carrying out the harsh punishment with stoic resolve. The tension between love for his son and commitment to upholding justice is palpable in his expression.
This snapshot from history serves as a reminder of the complexities inherent in moral dilemmas and the weighty consequences that come with upholding authority. It offers us a glimpse into the values and beliefs that shaped one man's legacy as an exemplar of Roman virtue.
